Menacingly

 There are some people you just don't mess with.  This is one of those people.  

I think this is one of my great-uncles on my mom's side.  I just love this picture.  It's so mundane, and yet, it shows a glimpse into history that is so much more "real" than just standing in rows in front of a camera.  

That facial expression!  Did the photographer surprise him?  My great-uncles were known for their stern looks, but this one goes above and beyond.  The camera is obviously also down at ground level, which is a sign of a thoughtful photographer.  I love the oil cans and box of tools.
